This unit has been improved over the one that it replaced. So far the bean grinder has not wedged in (making it nearly impossible to remove and clean) like the old one. It works well brewing and the controls are great. I like that the bin for the coffee and the lid are one unit. So far the included screen basket lets a bit of coffee sludge through. But that could just be the ground coffee that I use. So I use the paper filter instead. Also, the carafe works great at keeping the coffee hot all morning and into the afternoon. My only issue with it is you have to turn it nearly upside down to get the last bit of coffee out of it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have no complaints. It makes good hot coffee, with or without use of the bean grinder. The carafe (?) stays warm for long enough to enjoy, the grinder grinds evenly and the water covers the brew basket perfectly. Easy cleanup, simple programming, and seems solidly built.

The coffee that the Cuisanart Grind and Brew makes is great! We especially like the thermal carafe. Coffee doesn’t taste ‘cooked’ and is good even if it needs to be reheated later in the day. We replaced our first Cuisanart Grind and Brew after six years of daily use with the same machine.

Bought this thinking it would be great To wake up to brewed coffee. What I did not expect was that it makes enough noise to wake the dead. This sounds like a jet landing in the kitchen and sets the dog to barking. The grind is acceptable but we no longer use that feature. The carafe does not keep coffee warm as well as my other carafe and the size is enormous making it hard to fit under cabinetry. I had expected better from Cuisinart as I have other products I like very much.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

There’s no way to fine-tune the grind amount and the default coffee grind was basically an expresso level, not good for drip. Plus the steam or condensation collecting in the area where you leave the beans for grinding, made a sludgy mess that was a pain to clean. And most importantly, the coffee didn’t taste good. I returned it.
